Ok I have kind all working no with a bit of trial and error and so its a learning curve. I can get all 3 tunners to record well at east 2 simultaneously and watch a third channel. Some times get message the ' That Tune Failed? But not as much now.

The problem I have is that the attached USB hardrive has been initialised by the box for recording, but not sure how to access the recording for playing on the quick rather then going thru loads of menus?

I cannot transfer files as .ts to another attached USB drive as it will not be recognised unless its initialised. AS the drives are initialised my windows based oc will not pick or see the drives and files for transfer and copying?

There is a move option for recordings but again it will not detect the other attached NTF formated USB drive as its transfer destination which already has media files .ts ,avi,mkv etc?

There is no apps menu like media player or file exploerer?

Not sure how to install VLC on this as thre is no web browser applications etc?
